Which of the Following Enzymes Catalyzes DNA Synthesis

Question

Which of the following enzymes catalyzes DNA synthesis?
A) DNA Ligase
B) DNA Helicase
C) DNA Polymerase
D) DNA Gyrase
E) None of these

Accepted Answer

DNA Polymerase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing DNA synthesis by adding nucleotides to the growing DNA strand according to the complementary base pairing rules. DNA Ligase is responsible for sealing nicks or breaks in the DNA backbone, DNA Helicase helps to unwind the double-stranded DNA molecule, and DNA Gyrase helps to relieve the supercoiling of DNA during replication.
